Stuck in the Diaz Family

SIX//Hi Ethan

A/N: I decided to change the P.O.Vs. Instead of having first person point of view and keep switching to every person. I'm changing it to just Melanie's point of view. Hope you like it that way, it's just annoying to constantly switching it. Enjoy the chapter :)

Melanie's P.O.V
Once we got to the park. The siblings froze in place, I was curious of why the two suddenly stopped.

"Ethan, is that Laura?" Harley questioned her brother

"I think it is and she is with Annie." He whispered.

"Harles, why is that so bad?" I asked her.

"Umm.. Laura and Ethan used to date. And Annie had a huge crush on Ethan, so she asked him out and he rejected her." She whispered to me.

"Oh..." is all that came out of my mouth.

The two girls began to walk over towards us.

"Umm... I don't know how to put this but I'm going to be straightforward with you. Ever since you came into our family, I have liked you  like a lot." He began to chuckle. "Maybe even love you. Your story and everything you have been through in your life, made me like you more because to see how strong and amazing you are. As well as your talented, skillful art skills. The list can go on of why I like you but I do."

I was in complete shock but feel so loved right now. I didn't know what to say, I never felt any feelings toward this boy until now.

"Ethan, I don't know what to say. I never felt this love before and I don't want to hurt because of it." When I saw his eyes, I seen a bit of hurt but I can't lie to him. "But...
